Abstract

The structure and mobility of negative ions of oxygen in liquid Xe is investigated. It is shown that the strong exchange interaction of the outer, weakly bound electron of the negative ion with the surrounding liquid leads to a partial compensation of the electrostriction effect, and it prevents the formation of a solid cluster around the negative ion. A simple perturbative model describing the structure of the negative ion in the liquid matrix is developed. The mobility of O −2 ions in liquid Xe on the saturation line is estimated. The reasons for the difference in mobility of negative and positive ions are discussed.
